Preparing the Water Leak Sensor for Installation
The Water Leak Sensor is composed of two sections
linked together with a cable The Sensor (transmitter)
and the Probe. Before installing, remove the yellow
battery isolation tape from the Sensor. This activates
the Lithium battery inside. The approximate battery
life is up to two years. When replacing batteries it is
recommended to replace all batteries in a Zone at the
same time in order ensure proper operation of the
entire system.
Installation
The Probe section will need to be mounted first. It is
intended to be positioned with the contacts pointing
down. Find a suitable location where water could
accumulate if a leak were to occur (eg. along the
baseboard of wall).
You will need to determine if the surface to mount the
Probe is smooth or rough/porous. If smooth you can
use one piece of the included double sided tape. When
using doublesided tape apply to clean dry surface.
Remove one side of the tape and attach it to the
back side of the Probe. Once the mounting surface is
ready, remove the other side of the double side tape
and position probe so that the metal contacts are
pointing down, touching the floor and the back of the
Probe (with the double side tape) is up against the
wall, baseboard or mounting plate. Apply pressure to
secure the Probe to the surface.
If the mounting surface is rough or porous, you will
need to use the alternate mounting plate and screws
(included). Secure the plate to the desired location with
the screws.
